This review is aimed at other hobbyists -- a real engineer might have a very different opinion of the book. I'd never dream of designing my own switching power supply, so I can't say with any conviction that this is a good or complete book in that regard. This book has given me a much greater appreciation for what considerations go into designing a supply, as well as some general considerations that might be relevant to powering any project. Also, reading a book that tackles real world problems helps to fill in some basic knowledge gaps that otherwise typically come from experimentation and experience.

It is very readable -- though at a minmum the reader should have practical working knowledge of Ohm's law, Kirchoff's laws, a basic understanding of impeadance for AC circuits, and a working knowledge of semiconductors rectifiers and transistors in order to get much benefit from the book.

    4. For the typical hobbyist, the moderate price also makes this book more approachable than other books on the topic. Update -- after using the book for a while, I'd probably downgrade to 3 stars if I could -- even with my limited background I found numerous errors. One person found this helpful. This is an exelent book, if somebody purchased this book and wrote that this book has equations but they are not explained, is because the title say it all: It is practical and a good reference at least for the novice, but remember, this is not a book for somebody that do not understand the meaning on poles an zeros, neither for the one do not know how to bias a bjt.

    There is not in the market yet a book that tell you how design a buck or boost converter step-by-step, since choose resistor up to choose the control method and op amp. One have to search and buy many books and then develop your oun skills in converters. You will have to find somewhere else this exact equation, but you still can design from simple to complex power supplies with the equations in this book.

    This is a good book on the basics. A little out dated. Very helpful power supply cookbook. I found this book to be informative, however, after reviewing the book and trying to work through the examples I found a tremendous amount of errors, mis-prints and, lack of continuity. I would not recommend this book for the beginner, but for the experienced tech it does offer some unique thoughts.

    With all respect to the author--this is not a well-written book.

    The outline of the text follows: The Role of the Power Supply A purview of typical power supply specs and a very brief nod to design software and lab gear. Interesting comments, but not a lot of cohesion. An Introduction to the Linear Regulator A very brief 8 pages introduction to the linear regulator. The shunt zener regulator gets a short paragraph and one figure. The linear regulator is introduced without a lot of supporting analysis or design equations.

    Several topologies of linear regulators appear in figures without much elaboration in the text. Pulsewidth Modulated Switching Power Supplies The core chapter--concentrating on the topic the author really wishes to discuss: The author's central dogma is introduced in Fig.

      6. Subsequent sections of Chapter 3 plow through each block in the flowgraph--until you get to "Higher Order Functions Design" at which point the isomorphic map between the flowgraph and the text breaks down. After this point, the reader finds himself on an intellectual scavenger hunt in the main text and the appendices to fill in the remaining details.

      Thermal Analysis A basic electrical engineer's introduction to thermal design by analogy with Ohm's law. Feedback Loop Compensation A lengthy treatment of stability analysis via Bode plot gain and phase margin with discussion of compensation techniques. This is a fairly lengthy section and would have nestled nicely into the main text.

      Power Factor Correction A discussion of improved efficiency through power factor correction. Magnetism and Magnetic Components Remedial information on magnetic circuits. Miscellaneous Information A few tables on units conversion and some information on wire gauges -- that's all. My complaints with the text: The book is mis-named. Coverage of linear regulators is minimal--despite all the advice in Chapter 1 regarding the proper selection of the power supply technology.

      The book has errors that should have been caught by a casual proof-read. Consider the singular design example of a linear regulator. When analyzing the rise in junction temperature with a hefty heat sink, the thermal resistance between case and sink is reported as a whopping 65 degrees C per Watt--which would make the overall temperature rise much worse than without the heat sink. After some backwards engineering--one will discover that the resistance should have been reported as 0. The book is not self consistent. For instance, the term Wa first appears on page 39 with no explanation.

      Call me dense, but I have to "google" the term on the internet to figure out Wa is 'winding area'. The book is sloppy. For instance, Table A-2 in the appendix has a pair of columns labelled "Minimum" and another pair labelled "Maximum" -- but no verbiage explaining the difference between the like-labelled entries.

      Designing Your Life

      There are lots of equations in the book--but even the choice of what is included versus excluded defies explanation. In the discussion of boost mode converters there are equations for the inductor current and the energy stored in the magnetic field--but no equation for the output voltage of the converter -- which may be of more than nominal interest to the designer. The equation for discontinuous mode is a little complicated--but the equation for continuous mode is quite elegant and, evidently AWOL from the book.

      The material development is most frustrating. For instance, on page 44 we are informed that an 'air gap' is required in unipolar flux drive transformers.
